After a while, Danruo put on his clothes and thanked Gu Jingxing again for his treatment. At the same time, he asked Lily to give Gu Jingxing a considerable medical fee.

For the next five days, Gu Jingxing came to see the doctor every day, and Danruo's wounds improved rapidly under the effect of the imperial medicine.

The two of them went from being awkward and polite at the beginning to chatting like close friends, which Gu Jingxing thought was his own unilateral effort but was actually the result of the joint efforts of both parties.

Dan Ruo would also leave a portion of the fresh food that she asked her servants to research for Gu Jingxing. On this day, she planned to make lotus leaf chicken when Gu Jingxing came. She and Baihe went to the pond outside the manor to appreciate the lotus and noticed Gu Jingxing approaching.

She excitedly pulled Lily and wanted to go with the old woman to pick lotus leaves.

The boat could only accommodate one person, and even though Danruo was slender, the remaining space was not enough for the slightly plump Lily.

Lily was afraid of danger, but didn't want to make her master unhappy, so she could only keep a close eye on her master's boat and let the maid who could swim guard it around.

After Gu Jingxing learned about the farmers' situation in the fields, he saw a girl in a pink gauze dress. Her hair was simply tied into two buns, decorated with pink ribbons on both sides. Her snow-white face was shining in the sunlight, fresh and refined.

Holding a large lotus leaf in her hand, her eyes full of smiles, all the lotus flowers in the pond became the foil for the beauty. Gu Jingxing just wanted to pick up a pen and draw this moment so that it could be preserved forever.

The next moment, Dan Ruo secretly manipulated the water plants under the boat. Although there was no strong wind, the boat still tilted in an instant. Dan Ruo's body was unstable and she was about to fall into the water. When she was near the water surface, she fell into Gu Jingxing's arms.

The instinct for survival made her hold on to Gu Jingxing's thin waist tightly. She didn't take two steps back until she heard Lily screaming after landing, and then she ran towards her own village.

Gu Jingxing looked at the person who was fleeing in panic, and followed slowly behind him in a good mood. When he saw Du Jun waiting at the door from a distance, he immediately hid himself.
